I really like the name Sadie but my husband says it's a pets name (dog/horse). Do you agree with him?

I really like the name Sadie. I just think of Sadie Frost, I'd never think of it as a pets name

It's the top of my list but DH says all he can see is the word 'Sad' which makes me doubt it entirely! 😕

I don't think it's a pet's name, but I'm not keen on it. It's just another of those 'ie' names which are so popular these days.

I love it but know an adult Sadie (70's) and she has always hated it!

I like it. Also like Dinah but I think that is linked to a naughty rugby song!

I have one.. of the child not pet variety. Never had an issue with being called "sad" etc. She genuinely likes her name and it suits her now as older teen as much as young toddler...

Love it! Classic and timeless. It's a family babe in my husbands side so we considered it. I like that it is old but has a modern sound.

It's my dogs name! I love it but it conjures up a dopey Labrador.

I like it but it always makes me think of “Sexy Sadie” which is a bit 😬

Would have been one of my top choices for a girl if we'd decided to have a second!
